I am taking a brief hiatus the remainder of this week because my beloved dog, Dakota, passed away last week and my heart is still not fully recovered from the loss of my oldest fur baby. He was 16 years old. Death, no matter if it is human or animal, is hard. I cried when Dakota passed away, simply because he was not only a family pet, but he was my baby, my little man, my Koter-boat. He lost the love of his life, C.T., our German Shepherd, several years ago. And even though we adopted another dog to help […]
My Week in Pins: Nat’l Bird Feeding Month
Did anyone know that February is National Bird Feeding Month? I sure didn’t. Birds are lovely creatures. Some sing sweet little tunes; some mimic words or phrases; some are little; some are big; some have long beaks; some have short beaks; some have long legs; some have short legs… you see where I’m going with this?

Surely they can make an […]
My Week in Pins – Odd Couples
This week in “My Week in Pins”, which is a day late (sorry about that), I decided to showcase some really cute “odd animal couples”. So enjoy! [All pins are taken from Pinterest, but I do name the original source.] These donkeys remind me of the ones that roam my future retirement land in Colorado. Love their cooky smiles! These two friends understand the joys of sharing! You can just see and feel the love between these two beautiful dogs. I love seeing teamwork between these two pandas. Who says dogs and cats can’t get along! My dad has four […]
